Introduction/Definition/etc

 

Biking along and see kids throwing stones

into the stream that a dog is trying to retrieve...

 

Body

 

Original Text

 

Post storms/ rain, water still kind of heavy, a lower bridge,

near a playground, and a closed for renovation bathrooms

near a pavilion and branches of the W&OD and 4 Mile Run,

post shootings in a Pittsburgh synagogue...

  The lower bridge, has two pipes underneath concrete with a

fair amount of stream flow... getting trapped in those pipes

could be fatal, the kids are hyper and non compliant,

the woman with the kids and dog, doesn't seem to

have it all under control, the kids are hainvg "fun",

but like peanut butter in the dogs mouth,

not fun for the animal, basically mean

and cruel...

 

The dog tries to please the kids and owner/ handler,

but common sense, which seems to be lacking,

is that that is not a good place to play, the stream

is not a pond, it's colder out now, not summer,

and while the kids want to throw stuff, and the

dog would like to retireve stuff, it isn't a floating thing,

and the kids are not under control, they throw

into the bad parts, and seem to enjoy

not following instructions/ orders,

which leads to the kid throwing into

the deap section down stream from the

concrete bridge, and the dog nearly

drowns, the mother/caregiver, maybe an aunt,

I'm not sure, pulling the dog out by collar

and scruff of the neck, out of an embankment

where it could not climb out by itself,

not sure what her issue was, i went closer,

from the upper bridge down to the lower,

big steep hills, and wearing brakes,

runoff and water still on the concrete,

why did you go in the water?

getting her shoes wet, maybe Sunday

best, cleaning and all sorts of things going on,

asking me what to do after they created

the situation that almost killed the dog,

she could go in the likely dirty stream,

runoff, and sewage has been alerted

before, but usually hear about it afterwards,

instead of then...

 

I had passed that aread earlier in the morning,

and two deer were sighted, when quiet,

and early, not the first time there,

and having to be careful who i told,

lest hunters go kill them, and other cruelty...

 

 

 

 

Modified Text

 

What's Missing?

 

A caring adult,

kids with  limits

likely montessori kids which

want to discuss it while doing things

dangerous to the animal who is trying

to do what it is bred to do, retrieve

but throwing rocks is constantly

disappointed in not being able

to get them,

 

Warmth, as cold and wet,

while the dog has some undercoating,

a younger dog and not really a clean

city stream.

 

The dog part, on the other side of the playground,

may have been busy, mid day Sunday, and

maybe other animals, and this young one

but signs do not play in the water,

may be needed.  Just because it is

scenic doesn't make it safe,

even a  car can be swept away by a few inches of

water running.  a 40-50 pound dog,

or even kid, easily swept away and drown,

like a few inches in a bathtub, it doesn't

take much...

 

Fun seemed to include cruelty...

 

What Can Be Found?

 

Blame game,

shared use park, so not exclusive use,

not a reserved party area, no picnicing,

and meanness is the areas defining

characteristic, to people like me,

helpless animals, and others...

 

What Can Not Be Found?

 

How To Analyze?

 

Lenses

 

Assumptions

 

People care about each other

playgrounds and kids are cruel,

but learning how not to be,

may be a stretch for some people...

 

Time Limits

 

Busy time, other things to do,

eat lunch, warm up, find things

i had forgotten leaving quickly

for something else,

 

time to save the animal,

too busy to stay and deal with

it someome may have done a citizens

arrest, taken the animal, while some

familiarity with the dog, andi it's name,

a yound animal, and not well

managed/ handled, basically

blame the parent/ caregiver,

for not having the sense not

to play like that and there,

while incapaible, it seemed to saving

the animal, an oops the dog was

going to die, sort of emotional

blackmail, trap/ trick, etc...

 

But they called me jewish,

and other problems which may

be typical of playground nastiness,

mixed religions/ races, etc

but times of stress and

wondering segregation again,

conflicts played out on basically

 a small scale Great Falls, and

instead of floatation devices,

and safety equipment, just

meanness, and we know better,

you can't tell us what to do,

it's our dog, we can kill it if we want

to, but no it's against the law

to do that, and you have no

reasoning to really think it would be ok,

create a situation, and blame passers by

for the outcome?

 

Thrill seeking at others expense?

this is why that is not a good place to play

lihe that, but you know better, until

something happens and hten you don't

what do i do?

don't get in that situation...

 

Be the dog, you created it,

if you have no caring for the anmial

and don't say no to your kids,

they do things not knowing

and just want to argue about it,

while continuting to do the dangerous

things, for another, not caring,

and not being responsible,

so someone else has to do

the laundery for the wet shoes,

boots/ etc.  someone has to get the dog

trapped in the pipe out,

oops...

how fun is that?

 

not much for the dead dog,

nor the rescue person(s),

nor for the person doing the report,

 

 

 

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

Not much, at this point, over 12 hours afterwards,

and still rater bothered by it, like witnessing a

drunk driver hitting someone/thing,

senseless careless, reckless

disregard for animal and human life,

while blatantly saying it's fun...

really the opposite of fun,

criminal, cruel and unjust,

passersby and other witneses

are supposed to ignore it?

in a public park?
